Usman, the UFC’s reigning and defending welterweight champion, has already notched five title defenses, which has placed him as the promotion’s No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter, according to the organization’s official rankings.

The Nigerian has just asserted his status as the UFC’s leading pound-for-pound fighter after an explosive rematch victory over bitter rival Colby Covington.

Kamaru Usman called out Jake Paul all the way back in April 2021. Paul accepted the ‘challenge.’ However, Usman decided he didn’t want to engage in “play fighting” — no matter how much money it made him.

With the win, Usman improved to 20-1-0, and has won 19 fights in a row, including five title defenses.
